Thats the lyrics to Roy Keane to the tune of Stan by Eminem-not sure if it were recorded but its an entertaining read

Ashamed to admit it but I liked 'Mick McCarthy's Baby' done to the tune of 'Lazy' by David Byrne/Xpress 2. It seems a bit dated after the World now but I thought it was hilarious at the time.

Somebody definitely should have released the Roy Keane version of 'Stan' at the time (of it wasn't done already). That was class!

For sheer irony, Fantomas playing the Omen Theme live, "for all the black metal idiots in the audience".

The album " Our Kid Eh" by The Shire Horses ( Mark and Lard ) is good enough.

Any Weird Al Yankovic song is excellent. Two that spring to mind are "Amish Paradise" (Gangster's Paradise) and "Which Backstreet Boy is Gay" (I Want it that Way)

Classics both. And that Star Wars American Pie song (think it was called something like "The Saga Begins")

Not forgetting "Star Trek Rhapsody".

Warp seven? No! That still is way too slow!

Um, yeah. It makes me laugh, anyway...

Spinal Tap - Stonehenge

"In ancient times, millions of years before the dawn of 'istory,
there lived an ancient race of people....the Druids!
Nobody knew, who they were or....what....they were doing..."

Brilliant!

Dunno if "Startrekkin'" (by The Firm) can count but if it does I'm adding it to the list. Brilliant. Crap (but good) video, catchy chorus - what more can you want?

Weird Al (again) - He Got The Wrong Foot Amputated

Parody of Offspring's Come Out And Play. Though it has nothing to do with the original song. Just has the same melody, or whatever...

Billy Connolly's "The Evil Scotsman" parody of Alanis Morisette's "Once Hand in My Pocket"

He has another parody of George Michael's Faith but the lyrics are about George Michael's little episode with the cops.. so funny...

NOOOOO!

That's not a parody! It's a great jazz song!

It was written by Louis Prima and made popular by Benny Goodman (and his big bandy band!) back in the 50's sometime, if memory serves...

Chris Morris "Uncle ****ér" as well as "Myra"...pulled the píss out of the Pixies and Pulp...

Good call on "Myra"... I'm a big Chris Morris fan, so I have to add JLB-8's "Little White Butt". Not cause it's from the paedophilia special (please don't slate me on that, this post (and thread) is nothing to do with that!), but rather cos of the effort put into it...

Chris Morris's 'Motherbanger' Pixies parody is spot on. As are the Day Today's parodies of Nirvana (they do sanitary towel ad - Panty Smile to the tune of Teen Spirit) and gangsta rap (Fur Q - Uzi Luvva).

Other notable Spinal Tap songs are The Majesty Of Rock

The Majesty of Rock!
The Mystery of Roll!
The darning of the sock,
The scoring of the goal!
The farmer takes a wife,
The barber takes a pole,
We're in this together...and ever...

and The Sun Never Sweats

You knew you met your master, when I made you stay at home.
Woman. Whatever made you roam?

and Bitch School, which as a washington post journalist discovered, is not sexist at all.

Bravin: Let's talk about Bitch School. Some critics are suggesting that this song is demeaning to women.
Nigel: We've heard that before, and it's frankly a mystery to us, because if you have half a brain, you'd realize the song is about dogs. It's not about women at all.
Bravin: Some of the lyrics that have been cited: "I'm gonna chain you/ Make you sleep out of doors/ You're so fetching when you're down on all fours/ And when you hear your master/ You will come a little faster, thanks to/ Bitch School."
Derek: See, it's about dog training.
Nigel: That's all. It's about training, about the discipline of our female dogs.
David: Man's best friend.
Nigel: And we, the three of us, are longtime dog lovers. It's an ode, really.
Bravin: Then why are there no dogs in the video? Instead, you have a woman in leather and fishnet stockings using whips and chains to discipline a school filled with young women in skimpy clothes.
Derek: If it had been up to us, it would have been all dogs. The place would have been crawling with them.
